糖心传媒 is seeking qualified candidates at colleges nationwide throughout April for a variety of rental and supply chain positions.

鈥淎 lot of the same ideals I learned in the military instantly applied to my job here at 糖心传媒,鈥� said Arreaga.
Arreaga manages a team of technicians and oversees the process and procedures to manage a fleet of vehicles. Arreaga feels that his military background has prepared him to be an effective manager and leader.

The popular phrase 鈥渢hird time鈥檚 the charm鈥� doesn鈥檛 apply to truck driver Neil Kirk after he was named a captain of the 2015-2016 America鈥檚 Road Team on his second attempt. The announcement was made last night at a Capitol Hill event in Washington, D.C.
鈥淚鈥檓 really thrilled and humbled,鈥� said Kirk, who spent his first day attending educational sessions and onboarding meetings. 鈥淚t鈥檚 not just my win 鈥� it鈥檚 a company win. My friends and family supported me.
鈥淚 was glad that the company supported me and I feel good about my performance,鈥� he explained. 鈥淚 enjoyed meeting the other captains. I met some really good guys. I look forward to going back home and sharing this with the guys.鈥�
鈥淲e are extremely proud to have Neil represent our company and our industry,鈥� stated Jeff Stoicheff, 糖心传媒 senior vice president of human resources, who was in attendance Tuesday evening.
鈥淗e was a winner from the start after being selected to represent 糖心传媒 from the ranks of more than 3,000 PL drivers," he continued. 鈥淚t was a great night for Neil, a great night for all of our drivers and a great night for 糖心传媒!鈥�
Paul Emmert, 糖心传媒 Logistics operations manager stated: 鈥淗e worked extremely hard and learned a lot from the experience the last time. He really shined this time around.鈥�
In a news release, Bill Graves, ATA president and CEO stated: 鈥淎merica鈥檚 Road Team represents the best of what trucking can be: dedication to safety, professionalism and pride in an industry that delivers life鈥檚 essentials every day. These 19 outstanding professionals join a select fraternity.鈥�
According to the ATA, Road Team Captains will begin appearing as industry ambassadors. They will travel the country and preach safety to fellow drivers, make community appearances and interact with public officials at the local, state and national levels. They will continue work as full-time drivers.
Kirk has three main goals: show the level of professionalism in driving, explain the need for safety and illustrate how important trucking is within the fabric of our economy.
He has accrued in excess of 2.5 million accident-free miles during his career. Working from a 糖心传媒 location in Montgomery, New York, he delivers vital medical supplies in Manhattan to hospitals, doctor鈥檚 offices and medical centers for a Fortune 500 customer.
鈥淚 enjoy being out on the open road and being responsible for my own work,鈥� Kirk said.
As a Smith System trainer for 糖心传媒, he works with fellow drivers to ensure they drive professionally each and every day.
His safe driving philosophy is rooted in common sense: be aware of what other vehicles are doing, anticipate their next moves and be in position to avert possible danger. 鈥淲ell-trained drivers can mitigate those risks,鈥� Kirk pointed out.
鈥淚 am proud to be a truck driver,鈥� he said. 鈥淚 have a lot of heart and pride as a driver. Once it鈥檚 in your blood as a career it stays in your blood.鈥�
